Antrops is a genus of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae, specifically within the subfamily Archiborborinae.[2] The genus has undergone significant taxonomic revision, with the genus Archiborborus now treated as a junior synonym of Antrops.[2] It is a diverse group, currently comprising 53 described species.[2]
Based on observations of museum specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Antrops flies exhibit a robust, typical sphaerocerid body form.[1] The specimens display a dark, often brownish or blackish coloration across the thorax and abdomen.[1] The wings are well-developed, with visible venation patterns characteristic of the family.[1]
